Midwife jobs are available in multiple contract types. These include:

• Permanent midwife jobs: a permanent position doesn’t have a specific end date. You are contracted to work at the organisation indefinitely, until retirement or until your resignation.
• Temporary midwife jobs: in a temporary position, you are not tied to one particular employer, as your contract will have a proposed duration. While contract roles present a great opportunity to improve your skills and gain valuable experience, in some cases they result in staying at the organisation post contract, or even taking on a permanent position.
• Part-time midwife jobs: in a part-time position, you can enjoy reduced work hours, presenting greater work-life balance.
• Full-time midwife jobs: a full-time position allows you to maintain a regular working schedule, typically during the working week, allowing you to have weekends free, depending on whether you will be working shifts or traditional working hours. Full-time contracts can be on either a fixed, temporary or permanent contract basis.
